The UK is opposed to any form of animal cruelty.
The Foreign & Commonwealth Office continues to receive representations from Members of Parliament and the public on bullfighting.

[139561]
No such representations have been made recently. Although it is theoretically possible that some farms raising bulls for bullfighting do receive payments under the Single Payment scheme, these payments are directly related to the amount of land owned and not to the type of farming. Therefore, the issue is difficult to address.
